Martin Serafimov delivered a stellar performance, converting all his seven-meter throws and finishing with 12 goals. Marko Mitev excelled in breaking down CHC Ohrid’s defensive zone, orchestrating plays alongside Igor Gjorgiev from the central back position, and contributing five goals himself. Goalkeeper Ivan Galevski was instrumental in the second half, recording seven saves, including three crucial stops on seven-meter throws.

At the start of the second half, CHC Ohrid pushed hard with a high-intensity defense, trying to erase the deficit. However, HC Alkaloid successfully met this challenge, and after maintaining a 20-18 lead, as the home side failed to break our resistance, we took control of the game and shifted into a counter-offensive.
